UNITED HUMANS AGAINST ATROCITIES ON ANIMALS (Organised by Dhyan Foundation supported by PFA) Stuffed into trucks.. Often blinded by chilly which is rubbed in the eyes...  Then driven for anything up to 16 hours without food or water....  Hardly any space to move and fear of an impending brutal death haunting. .. If this is not CRUELTY in its worst form then what is? Recently, a Shocking Incident came to light in the heart of National Capital! New Delhi, February 14, 2017 A truck carrying camel carcasses was caught in the national capital , just as it was entering Jagdish Cold Storage House located at Lawrence Road. It was seized by police over allegations by animal activists that it was loaded allegedly with illegal camel and cow meat. Further probing led to discovery of carcasses inside this "Cold Storage" and two more of these illegal slaughterhouses adjacent to it, in the heart of national capital.    Raising some serious ...

Counted as one of the world’s most exotic locations attracting tourists from all over the country as well as the world, Goa is a haven of “good times” for most people around the world. Apart from the tourists, locals and fun-seekers, there is another population residing in Goa, for whom the city-state is anything but exotic. On the occasion of Eid, 9 calves, cows and bulls were brutally slaughtered in broad daylight in Goa. Open slaughter of animals is strictly prohibited in India. Slaughtering cows is not allowed. The slaughter of calves is illegal and the butchering of bulls below the age of 14 without a ‘fit to to slaughter’ certificate from a recognized vet and outside of an authorised slaughterhouse is completely against the law. Yet the animals were slaughtered, the meat of the animals was stuffed in polythene bags and their bodies left in the open. The tails, intestines and skinned remains of the animals were found littered behind Nagesh Garden Magaon, South Goa. A ca...

Ghazipur slaughterhouse in Delhi is one of the biggest and modernized house of death, which is authorized to kill a thousand animals every day, but the daily count easily exceeds 5000. The animals, mostly buffaloes (some pregnant too), are first electrocuted and then callously slaughtered. The misery of these poor animals begins right from the journey to the slaughterhouses. They are not fed for days. They are kept in crowded places. They are tortured with sticks. Even pregnant animals are not spared and are beaten up mercilessly. The buffaloes are electrocuted with live wire instead of being stunned. The sight is too barbaric to be described in words. The meat of the slaughtered animals doesn’t undergo ante-mortem or post mortem examinations. Quality analysis is also done by the export companies in factories with no CCTV coverage. They claim that all the cameras are dysfunctional. Suspicious, isn’t it? Volunteers of Dhyan Foundation are campaigning for ethical treatment of a...

Back in 1993, the spread of Mad Cow Disease took toll of many across the globe and as a result, many stopped consuming beef products. We may stop consuming beef, but there is no escaping the cow and the disease and infection carried by the many products we make out of its carcass. The cattle by-products today find their way into almost everything around us and have the potential to transmit bovine spongiform encephalopathy from an infected cow to us. Bovine gelatin, which is made by treating the bones of a cow with acid, finds its way into gel capsules, food products such jellybeans, marshmallows and instant gelatin, as a setting agent for ice-creams and cheesecakes, and as a coat on tablets, to bind photographic films, to name a few. Fat from the dead cow makes an appearance in our bathrooms as soap and toothpaste and on the road as automobile tyres and asphalt roads. Glycerin derived from cow fat is used in cosmetics and even in wars, as the explosive nitroglycerine. Its hooves a...
